The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
African American mothers are three times as likely to have premature babies than any other ethnic group. It is important that we continue to raise funds for March of Dimes to assist parents who endure such hardships as premature labor.
The March of Dimes is proud to partner with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. as a long-standing National March for Babies Team! We have had a partnership for more than 40 years which began with the Project Alpha program in Chicago, IL. Alpha Phi Alpha and March of Dimes have been enthusiastic partners through Alpha Phi Alpha Program. March for Babies gives Alpha Phi Alpha and its members an opportunity to show their communities they care about healthy babies and their families.
Alpha men are involved in community services for all families, lobbying on Capitol Hill for better access to healthcare, funding research to prevent serious problems that threaten our babies, educating young men and women on how to be healthy through Project Alpha, and providing funding to offer support for families who need it most.
We will continue to support the efforts of MOD, but we cannot do it without YOU!! Please support our walk. Making a secure donation is easy: just click the 'donate now' button on this page. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us give all babies a healthy start!
March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.
March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.
Thank you for your support!
